THE INSHRIACH HOUSE BLOG HAS MOVED!

The latest.

Following on from the piece in the Guardian we have been listed by BBC Homes and Antiques Magazine as one of the loveliest places for a winter holiday. Unfortunately I cant link to it because its a magazine piece so you have to go out and buy it.

We hosted our first photo shoot, Gisela and Emma adding a touch a fur clad New York glamour to the Inshriach forest, one of their pics is shown above.

While thinking about fur coats we revisited the highland wildlife park for the first time in 15 years. Its no sprawling Longleat but its manageable and lovely with its suitably massive upland animals, yaks, bison, wolves, siberian tigers, snowy owls. I would like to keep the mini red pandas and furry alpine foxes.

We had a big party in the house on Friday, 55 people, catered by us. The brownies, fruitcake and stew will keep us going for weeks. The next foreseable time this will happen is a wedding coming up in September.

Post BBC we have a farmyard full of amazing props. Those of you already planning on coming for the buildathon in the spring have something to work with and any other friends who fancy a sabbatical from bad news and a few months living in the woods will be very welcome.

Inshriach House is an Edwardian country house in the Cairngorms National Park. It is available to rent for groups of up to 17 people, or for weddings and location work. It is also home to the Inshriach Yurt and the Beermoth, available to rent through Canopy and Stars. This blog is an informal guide to projects underway around the house, the farm, the gardens and the workshops and to what's going on around Aviemore, up and coming and past events, good places for food, drink and music and entertaining bits of local news
